A lighthouse on Cape Prior, near Strabo's ancient Cape Nerium. The cliffs here were the site of prehistoric human settlements, shown by megalithic monuments and petroglyphs nearby. Popular for watching the sun set into the Atlantic.
The lighthouse crowns Cabo Prior, one of Ferrol's great defensive sites: in the 20th century powerful coastal batteries were built on its heights, whose pits and tunnels can still be walked. An Atlantic viewpoint amid cliffs and open sea.
